Now posting this does not mean I think the #1 team will win the Superbowl, but it does mean I beleive they are the best team right now. <p></p>1. Patriots- They still have the most talent at key positions <p></p>2. Chargers- I hate to say it but load still on D and great skill play on O. Problem Norv Turner is still the coach. <p></p>3. Jaguars- They came on strong last year and I think they will be more consistent this year. Next...

What is up with Duke being ahead of UCLA in the AP poll. Duke lost two, 2 , Dos games last week and dropped two, or three spots. Give me a break, Krzyzewski has not and will not ever accomplish as much as Wooden. Duke has not won 10 or 11 national championships in basketball. Duke doesn't have one of the top TOTAL athletic programs in college sports. Give The WEST coast it's props AP. The coaches and CBS go it right, why can't you?<p></p>More East Coast Bias!!!!!!!!Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:41:44 ESThttp://mpo.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6392334/6604293?source=rss_blogs_NCAABhttp://mpo.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6392334/6474158?source=rss_blogs_MLB#commentsMLBhttp://mpo.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6392334/6474158?source=rss_blogs_MLB
The Giants are going to need at least two young everyday players to step it up this year. I hope it can be at First and Second. They have two kids there with great potential. Ortmeier has decent power but is learning first base. Snow will be able to help him defensivly but the Giants need a third or fifth hole hitter to be able to drive in some runs. Fransden has shown some promise but has not been able to follow through with it. He is a slightly above average fielder and a below average hitter. The Giants need him to blossom and be able to fill the sixth or seventh hole with some consistent fielding and hitting. The Giants need these things to be able to keep there young starters from over pitching. The Giants strength will be there starters and if they have some confidence in some run support that will make them so much better.<p></p>The GiantsTue, 19 Feb 2008 13:17:51 ESThttp://mpo.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6392334/6474158?source=rss_blogs_MLBhttp://mpo.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6392334/6392462?source=rss_blogs_General#commentsGeneralhttp://mpo.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6392334/6392462?source=rss_blogs_General
Alright first things I have observed. <p></p>When players in College get suspended for team rules violations, it hurts the whole team and sometimes a lot. SDSU having to suspend Spain took them out of a decent shot at the NCAA BB tournament. I feel for those kids. <p></p> Having said that I hope they realize that the experiences they gain from College and Sports will last them a lifetime. <p></p>Next. I really don&#39;t like all the grandstanding by Congress in Baseball, but I like it in the NFL. They have been playing favorites for years, but have been pretending not too. Goodell started out like he was ano nonsense guy, suspending multiple players, with just cause. But not holding franchises and coaches to the same standard is wrong. Belichek should be fined for walking off the field early during the Super Bowl. That is a horrible example to set and a terrible precedent. I don&#39;t care if doesn&#39;t shake an opposing coaches hand but at least respect the game. Also the &quot;Spy Gate&quot; debacle needs to end quickly with Belichek being suspended for at least two games and the Patriots losing some more draft picks, being fined and or their cap being lowered. Goodell needs to be consistent across the board.
